About the name Edirlei
The beginning Edi- is a formative linked to Anglo-Saxon Germanic ead, 'wealth, goods', according to the Morphemary of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil). The same Morphemary lists Ederlei and Iderlei among the Brazilian names with the ending -derlei, taken from Vanderlei, which it links to Dutch von der Ley, 'of the slates'; Wiktionary gives Vanderlei as coming from Dutch van der Leij. The formation of Edirlei itself is uncertain, so the meaning is not known for certain. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 1,002 people named Edirlei, with a median age of 41. The name is used by men and women, with a male majority, and most of the people were born between the 1970s and the 1980s. Proportionally, it is most common in Paraná.
